Year 1
Year 1
A warm welcome to Year 1. We have an exciting year ahead with lots of fun learning. The teachers in Year 1 are Mrs Riggett-Roderick and Ms Mitra. We are also lucky to have our wonderful teaching assistant Miss Middleton.
This term the children will be learning all about London and its famous landmarks, monarchy and rich history in particular, The Great Fire of London.
In Maths, we will be exploring place value and number working with numbers to 20 and counting on to 100. The children will work with a range of concrete equipment such as numicon, dienes, bead strings and ten frames.
In English, we will be starting our term with the story, How to Catch a Star and learning the story through oral rehearsal and story mapping which is an approach from Talk for Writing. This will support the children with writing simple sentences and using basic punctuation.
The children will have lots of home learning opportunities through our amazing learning platforms; Sumdog and Purple Mash. Spellings will be sent out each week to learn and to practice.
Phonics is taught daily to support with reading and we use the Little Wandle programme to teach graphemes and phonemes (sounds). We also teach reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension through Guided Reading sessions using Big Cat Books.
